Kamala Harris Warns Against Trump’s "Unchecked Power" in Washington Rally
At her largest rally to date, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris addressed over 75,000 supporters in Washington, cautioning Americans against granting Donald Trump another term. Harris accused Trump of seeking unchecked power, invoking memories of the January 6 Capitol attack, where Trump allegedly incited violence to overturn the 2020 election.
Harris Criticizes Trump’s Leadership
"We know who Donald Trump is," Harris stated. She described Trump as "unstable, obsessed with revenge, and out for unchecked power." Her message resonated with the diverse crowd near the White House, a symbolic backdrop for her final appeal ahead of the November 5 election.
Harris Appeals to Unity and National Security
Addressing divisive rhetoric, Harris urged, "We have to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms." She also warned that Trump’s relationships with authoritarian leaders, including Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, threaten U.S. national security. "World leaders see him as easy to manipulate with flattery," Harris said, positioning herself as a stabilizing force for America.
Trump’s Rally Amid Controversy
Meanwhile, Trump rallied in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, shifting focus to economic issues amid controversy over racially charged remarks at his recent New York rally. Trump has pledged to lower prices and restrict immigration, contrasting Harris’s emphasis on unity and democratic principles.
As 51 million Americans have already cast their votes, the candidates are neck-and-neck in critical swing states.
